The use of found materials is a common practice in Richard Wentworth's work. In 'Mineral sky' we are faced with an element of dubious nomination: it was a rope but it will no longer be and cannot be used as such; the arrangement of this tangle is reminiscent of a nest, but refers to ironically erotic connotations.
